“Don’t agonise over every word in a first draft; that will only slow you down. Just write the #story. Get it onto the page. Drafting is the stage where you capture the idea. Revising is where you figure out how to really tell the story well.” @bethkander.bsky https://cme.sh/storytelling #writingtips

In 2014 I resolved to get more rejections than C.S. Lewis. (He got 800) I got 1000! If you submit you may get rejections but if you don't you won't get offers. So submit! #writingtips #amwriting #publishing #writing #pubtip #WritingCommunity #MondayBlogs publishedtodeath.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-ne...
